What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Here in the good 'ol US of A, pretty much everything gets its own holiday. Got a toothache? February 9th is your day! Like air? So do I! Let's celebrate together on November 11th, National Air Day! And if anybody needs me on September 16th, I'll be enjoying National Stay Away From Seattle Day by, uh, continuing to live in Florida.

So anyway, today is National Pink Day, and by gosh, we're going to celebrate it - both the color *and* the singer. Why, you ask? Same reason we climb mountains: too much free time and we're crazy. DUH.

Hit it!

I think I just lost my talentI don't know where it went.Good thing I have this necklaceAnd lots of pink fondant:

So I read the wreckerator lyrics to the tune of "Sober" until it got to the na-na part, where I substituted melancholy u-huh-uh's to make the tune fit. Then I got to the chorus and couldn't believe I missed that it was "So What."

A neat trick I learned from a music teacher in high school: If you sing the entire song in your head, the endless loop of the song will disappear from your head.

Naw, not supposed to be Lotso. I usually do a monkey shaped CCC when I do a CCC animal (don't ask me why people are so into monkeys or CCCs) and was experimenting with a different more generic shaped CCC that I could make into a bear or other humanoid-ish fuzzy creatures, and instead of making a 4th leg I wasn't paying attention to where the body was or how huge it was and I actually hadn't noticed it first, someone else did, that I was missing a leg. But too late.

All these cakes suffer from icingus droopus. Perhaps they should not use Pepto-Bismal as frosting.#4 -we definitely need bigger bows#5 -we agree with Dread Pirate; it needs purple & green sprinkles and gold beads. Shall we meet in the bunker.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry because now that song is stuck in my head..lmao help me!!! Those cakes all look pepto pink to me and would probably give any tummy an ache from all the sugar. Scary cakes and gahhh that song won't die!!
